The deadline is approaching for photographers to submit entries for “Land Through the Lens,” a Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department competition showcasing photos depicting county-owned agricultural landscapes, forested areas, historic buildings, prairies, wildlife, and aquatic features of the county's park and open space properties.

Applications for entering the juried photography exhibit, to be held in March at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder, are due on or before Friday, Nov. 30.

There will be $200, $300, and $500 prizes for third, second and first-place entries in the adult photographers' category. One of the photos will be bought by the Boulder County commissioners' office and displayed at the Boulder County Courthouse, 1325 Pearl St., Boulder.

Prizes for youth photographers will be $150 for first place, $100 for second place and $50 for third place.

Interested adult photographers can submit up to six photographs each for a $25 entry fee. Photographers age 18 and younger will be charged a $10 entry fee for entering the youth category.

Additional details, maps and a list of recommended county open space and parks areas to photograph are available online, at www.BoulderCountyOpenSpace.org/photoshow. For more information, contact Karen Imbierowicz at 303-678-6268 or kimbierowicz@bouldercounty.org.
